I'm seeing verrrrrry slow downloads from Wikipedia on the hotel wifi, on the order of 20-30 kbytes/sec, whereas I get a very respectable 500 kbytes/sec to everywhere else.

slow test URLs:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexico
  
• https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/transcoded/b/b7/How_Open_Access_Empowered_a_16-Year-Old_to_Make_Cancer_Breakthrough.ogv/How_Open_Access_Empowered_a_16-Year-Old_to_Make_Cancer_Breakthrough.ogv.360p.ogv

vs fast downloads from my test site:

• https://brionv.com/misc/mjpeg/How_Open_Access_Empowered_a_16-Year-Old_to_Make_Cancer_Breakthrough.ogv.160p.mov

or the speed test widget at http://speedtest.comcast.net

Does anybody know if this might be some kind of throttling specific to Wikipedia (did they notice we're all using it? ;) or a technical problem between our servers and the hotel's ISP?
